      Neither actual nor dream, but very cool. The first Subie sold in the states, rear-motorcycle-engined, and to my eye a charming cross between a Mini and a Beetle.



      Think it, be it.

        Such a beautiful specimen I had to share.

        Think it, be it.

          Talking about cardiologist…Damn that’s nice.  However, I show that to Laura and I’ll need a proctologist to remove her foot from me.  😃

                      The new Batmobile has been testing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

                      OK, it's the McMurtry Speirling, an electric car with additional downforce provided by a fan. It's just cut two seconds off the record for the hill climb at Goodwood.

                        Purchased one of my dream cars last week: 2022 4Runner 4wd. It's Army Green and absolutely spectacular.

                        Weird dream car I guess but a neighbor of mine had one when I was growing up and I always thought the rear window glass being retractable was so very cool. In fact, his was green as well. Kinda cool coincidence I suppose.

                                    I like the 4Runner! So you will keep it species-appropriate in all kinds of terrain. You plan on Overlanding?

                                      Thank you! Going to take it out this weekend to a dark sky park and the following week to some fire trails to kick it off. I will probably need some more aggressive tires fairly soon and more light. But she’s ready to go!

                                      We won’t talk about how I nearly put it in 4lo in the bank parking lot. Only 4wd I’ve driven before was a quadratrac Jeep.

                                          It was a very flat parking lot.  😃

                                          Do you overland? Do you have a rig?

                                            I once had a Defender. I did some trips through Europe with friends, but that’s a long time ago.
                                            I hope I will have the time and rig again one day. So much fun riding through the country with friends, wife and dog.
